BELLO MIO (1) has been mixing his form in a higher grade recently and will appreciate dropping down in class here. He won't lack fitness, and from a handy gate, he should be very competitive at this level, and a form reversal is likely. CANASTA (5) is a progressive filly who won impressively fresh up earlier in the year and then trekked to Trentham to finish runner-up in a decent field. She is resuming without a public trial, but if ready, she will give this a shake. ELEGANT EXPLOSIVE (6) is another promising filly who has been holding her form in BM65 company. Dropping back to 1200m on a likely heavy track should not be a problem, and she has top 3 claims again. MAGNASTAR (3) capped off some solid form with an easy win here 5 weeks ago. He stays in the same class, and has to be respected.
